| ⓘ Actinolite Formula: ◻Ca2(Mg4.5-2.5Fe0.5-2.5)Si8O22(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) |
| ⓘ Altaite Formula: PbTe |
| ⓘ Anatase Formula: TiO2 References: |

| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ 'Chabazite' |
| ⓘ Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 |
| ⓘ 'Chlorite Group' |
| ⓘ Epidote Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH) |
| ⓘ 'K Feldspar' |
| ⓘ 'K Feldspar var. Adularia' Formula: KAlSi3O8 |
| ⓘ Laumontite Formula: CaAl2Si4O12 · 4H2O |
| ⓘ Molybdenite Formula: MoS2 |
| ⓘ Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Muscovite var. Sericite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| ✪ Native Gold Formula: Au Colour: gold Fluorescence: none Description: The gold xls never more than a few mm ranged from spheres to complex isometric habits. |
| ⓘ Prehnite Formula: Ca2Al2Si3O10(OH)2 |
| ⓘ 'Pumpellyite Subgroup' Formula: Ca2XAl2[Si2O6(OH)][SiO4](OH)2A |
| ⓘ Pyrite Formula: FeS2 |
| ⓘ Pyrophyllite Formula: Al2Si4O10(OH)2 |
| ⓘ Pyrrhotite Formula: Fe1-xS |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 |
| ⓘ Rucklidgeite Formula: PbBi2Te4 Fluorescence: none Description: Rucklidgeite has been observed in polished section, but most Rucklidgeite that has been tested turned out as Tellurobismuthite. Over a hundred single crystals probed at the British museum showed a host of these different minerals, all visually indistinguishable, but without SCXRD the identities are tentative. Initially it was thought that the presence of Pb nailed rucklidgeite, but that is not true. Both EMPA and SCXRD are needed to nail these minerals. Most specimens obtained with a rucklidgeite label are not rucklidgeite. |
| ⓘ Rutile Formula: TiO2 |
| ⓘ Scheelite Formula: Ca(WO4) References: |
| ⓘ Siderite Formula: FeCO3 References: |
| ⓘ Sphalerite Formula: ZnS |
| ⓘ 'Stilbite Subgroup' Formula: M6-7[Al8-9Si27-28O72] · nH2O |
| ✪ Tellurobismuthite Formula: Bi2Te3 Habit: Hexagonal plates Colour: britht silver grey to black. Fluorescence: none Description: Over a hundred visually identical xls were probed at BMNH and showed a host of related species, but without SCXRD the identifications are tentative.
Across the basal plane there is little variation in the probed chemistry but perpendicular to the basal plane the was some variation in probed chemistry. References: |
